ABSTRACT:
In the embodiment shown, the device comprises a pair of turbine wheels, rotatively journaled, each having a peripheral, concave channel. The wheels are journaled to close onto each other, in close proximity, to define of their channels a circular aperture. A conduit is directed to impel rounds of shot into the aperture, so that rotary torque power will be derived from the turbine wheels. A supply of pressured steam accelerates the rounds through the conduit to the aperture, and a feed wheel singly and successively introduces the shot into the conduit. A drive belt fixed around a hub on the feed wheel and a hub on one of the turbine wheels imparts rotation to the feed wheel, and the spent-missile end of the conduit opens onto the feed wheel to cause the latter to store and advance shot. The turbine wheels are journaled on pivotably mounted limbs so that, selectively, the wheels may be moved into and out of proximity with each other to define of the aperture a more close or more open "nip" for the impinging shot.
